I've been inspired by great greek painters I saw last week. So here's PBR made out of watercolor paintings. And of course, the normals were handpainted as usual. Made in a pretty modified version of UE5.

Happy to share this wooden antique chest I made with Maya, ZBrush and Substance Painter. Lots of fun! 🤗
Antique Chest, Hannah Dickson
I decided to create this old 17th century chest to brush up on my modelling and texturing skills after taking a break from prop creation (having focused on environments in recent years) ...

and here it is in motion!! Many thanks to @cosmicjaybird.bsky.social for sharing her water shader techniques I've borrowed here during Into Games Env Art course last Sept!
I'm a little late on finishing the project since my scene needed a hard reboot, but it's been so worth the extra work and time

Out painting again! Just off Stroud canal, there is this old sewage pumping station that is due to get demolished soon apparently. I just wanted an excuse to practise painting some greys which I generally struggle with.

Late night comic studies! Read Once and Future by Kieron Gillon, which is an amazing comic with great art by Dan Mora. Been itching to do some studies of it and some other of my favs. Maybe I'll fill this sketchbook with just comic panel studies...

Love it when an ad for The Outlaws on Amazon plus plays with a line that says 'Hey Google, how do you dispose of a dead body?'
Especially when my Google home starts to then read out instructions.

Mannn it's so bizarre seeing my art be used as an actual album cover. 😮
So glad though I got a chance to help @rupertcole.bsky.social with the art for the Completely Stretchy Album, was honestly SO much fun to paint in oils!! 🖌️

my new texture painting tool is now available in Gradientsapce UEToolbox 0.1.7. Lots of nice features, and more to come! In the vid I (tried to) make this Quixel burger box look a bit greasier by painting into the roughness map (8k textures!!). Get it here (free!): www.gradientspace.com/uetoolbox

I'm exploring the potential of doing some illustration commissions over December/in the new year: DND character posters, album covers, etc. Either digital or traditionally using oils/gouache.
